Man-Catching Meat Loaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 yellow onion, minced
    1 green bell pepper, diced
    6 crimini mushrooms, chopped
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    1 (12 ounce) can diced tomatoes
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon dried basil
    1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
    1/2 teaspoon curry powder
    1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    1/2 pound ground beef
    1/2 pound ground veal
    1/4 pound bulk hot Italian sausage
    1 egg
    3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    1/4 cup ketchup
    3 tablespoons prepared spicy mustard
    3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
    1 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
    4 slices thick sliced bacon
    1/3 cup ketchup
    1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
    1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms in the butter for 2 to 3 minutes; stir in the garlic, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, ground mustard, curry powder, and red pepper; continue to cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 5 minutes; set aside.
    Combine the beef, veal, sausage, egg, 3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, mustard, and teriyaki in a bowl; mix gently with your hands. Fold in the mushroom mixture and breadcrumbs. Shape the resulting mixture into a loaf and move to a baking dish. Lay the bacon slices on top of the loaf.
    Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes.
    While the meat loaf bakes, prepare the glaze by whisking together the 1/3 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, and yellow mustard in a bowl. Pour the glaze over the loaf and return to oven for another 10 minutes. Allow meat loaf to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
